it's time to do something about these bots i already report them and the spot , 3 times ! but they don't care , nothing have been done about them and the spot , NOTHING ! I'm tired to report them and to receive a message from the customer service to tell me that " the residents of Tamriel thank me " while my ticket is directly send to the trash .

✭✭✭✭Agree. There's HUGE bot train there. Over 10 bots following the same path and killing wolves. They are there long time cause all of them are already over 400CP.9 -

✭✭I tried to stuck them btw 3 rocks ,but it's impossible ... they are hyperpacked and if you try to attract them with a mob .. the mob simply die ... then they back to their eternal WW grind rotation ... and if a Bot is alone ... you can easily kill him by aggro mobs on him , they stay dead during 5 minutes then they respawn to the warshrine and come back .Edited by Apherius on April 25, 2017 4:30PM0 -

✭I've tried to report bots on PS4 NA but it's a clumsy process at best - Having to run up to each one, select report, navigate a menu, type info, rinse and repeat for each toon. Not sure why the behavior isn't detectable server-side, but it really should be.PS4NA8 -

i don't have any problem with this , i could report bots during 1 hours ( actually what i do now ) .
The problem is just that i have the impression to talk to a wall ...

Karius_Imalthar✭✭✭✭✭I've reported bots that just sit in a public dungeon and kill a boss endlessly with no evidence that anything was ever done about it. I come back later and they are still just standing around killing the same boss.1 -

We won't get much information about how Zos deals w/ bots and rightfully so. What Zos has done in the past though has worked exceptionally well.
Something changed around the time housing came out. Not sure if some anitbot measures were removed/changed or if botters just found new ways to get around detection. We can only hope that Zos is working on it in a timely manner.2 -
ozmorgudduth✭✭✭GMs? What is that? HAHAHA
Server performance went down the drain when they introduced bot counter-measures after release. Since then it seems that the performance is getting worse and worse, but the bots are back.
I have reported bots at Drowned Coast Dolmen in Greenshade at the beginning of March (on EU server) they were around lvl 30 back then. Now one of them is CP 450 and others CP291. Just had a look, still there...
The Warden will sort them out.

Bots are getting smarter. Remember those bots using heavy destro attacks at Auridon dolmen? They looked quite suspicious doing weapon attacks when enemies were not around, so now they are botting in different way. They stopped using destro staves and have bows instead. Also, they are not using weapon attacks anymore when there are no enemies at dolmen. When dolmen is up, they are attacking, but when dolmen is finished, they stop.
@ZOS_GinaBruno Is this really so difficult to send Game Master at least once per day to check all these botting areas and nuke them all? I'm not gonna report them anymore, I'm just tired cause after all my reports they are still there, and my mail is just trashed with auto responses from bot to my tickets (oh irony).7 -

✭✭2 weeks , nothing have been done , 4 more bots .
I already said this ( i think ) :
- These bots are All templars
- These bots Spam the same skill again en again
- This spot is Kerbol's Hollow , Bangkorai
- These bots farm mobs during 1 hours , then they disconnect , and come back 5 minutes after , they probably do this for avoid an " anti-bot " system
- They are at this spot since march ( or february normally ,they were lvl 40 in march )
- They have been report a lot of times ( 7 per bots personnaly )
- The news bots have strange gametarg , something like " @XxdfHrI45K56 ", of course this name doesn't exist ,it's just an exemple .
- Before disconnect they talk to the merchant because they have probably a macro for sell all items of their inventory .
- I have a list of all the bots that i meet at this spot , how much time i see them here ect ...
If nothing is done about these bots , if zenimax stay them farm without do anything ,they are going to be more and more
They will broke the economy , they will broke the game by selling these account already grind on the net.
Time to wake up zenimax , Oh and last question ! can i post my list of bots on this forum ( open office text ) ? because people need to know the gametarg of these grinded account . B ecause Once on the net, the noobs will buy these account , ( they probably don't know that we can change of gametarg ) and these noob should not be invite on any guilds .Edited by Apherius on May 10, 2017 12:03PM3 -
ZOS_GinaBrunoCommunity Manager@Apherius, can you post or send me your ticket number from the last report you made on these bots? Thanks!6 -
ddpmacho✭HA. Can't even begin to tell you how many people i've reported on PS4 and they do ABSOLUTELY nothing about it other than to send me an email saying if they don't hear back from me in 90hrs they will consider my issue resolved.PS4 - NA4

Gruffysb16_ESO✭✭✭I can confirm these bots have been there for at least 3 months. I've seen them on many occasions before the homestead patch came out.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Bots are easily found in the game but it seems ZOS is tolerating them. This is quite disturbing and it would be nice if there was some checking and consequences for the people using bots.
They are so obvious2 -

✭✭Unfortunately banning them will just cause them to make more "free to play" accounts and farm more right? Downsides of FTP.
I don't think they just " bann " and say themselves that the problem is solved
I'm sure that they work on a improvement of the current anti-bot system ( more criteria , ect ... )0 -
